Long barrow 150m west of Churchill Copse in Wychwood Forest is a Neolithic burial monument located in Oxfordshire. The barrow represents the funeral practices and social organization of early agrarian communities in southern Britain, dating to approximately 3500–2500 BCE. As a long barrow, it would have functioned as a communal burial structure, reflecting the collective nature of Neolithic society and likely containing multiple interments within a mortuary chamber or chambers. The monument survives as an earthwork within Wychwood Forest, forming part of the dispersed landscape of prehistoric ceremonial and funerary sites in this region of the Cotswolds.
